After staying in dozens of homes over the years, including two others in Bangkok alone, Hermann is the rare host capable of far more than merely accommodating guests, but of forming genuine personal connections with them. Though self-check in is possible, Hermann made time not only to warmly welcome my brother and me, but also to see us off. I couldn't have asked for a better place to start and end each day in Bangkok. Every amenity you can imagine is available, and though the condo is larger than life, Hermann's artful personal touches made for a homey experience. With breathtaking views and a central location, three nights really weren't long enough to fully appreciate the home, so if I'm ever back in Bangkok, there'd be no other choice for me than this city sanctuary.
